[ STEADY ] -andrew

[ STEADY ] : your muse steadies my muse by placing their hands on their waist when my muse almost falls against them.

“I-I,” she stuttered out awkwardly, a heat forming on her cheeks, “S-Sorry, I don’t..” Her hands had found themselves planted firmly against her in law’s chest, his hands had roughly grabbed hold of her hips to help steady her from falling further into him. Swallowing harshly, she peeked up at Andrew, “Thanks...for,” she cleared her throat, “catching me..” Though she was now fully steadied, her hands stayed planted on the other until she took notice of it, her eyes grew wider as she forced herself away from him, forcing herself to straighten up on her own two feet, “I...um..I should go!” she quickly spit out as she began to back pedal away, almost tripping again in her quick attempt to escape this strange moment with her brother in law. Once she hit the cold air outside every weird sensation quickly washed away, her icy blues peered back in the direction she came from...”What the crap was that?” she whispered clearly confused to herself.

“Why don’t you come closer?” -eli to piper

Piper’s head snapped up towards her ex-husband, her eyes narrowing into a glare as she questioned how Eli could even ask her that. “Why do you think I won’t come a little closer?” She hissed, nostrils practically flaring as she let out a deep and angry breath. She was sure it was because he thought she hated him, couldn’t stand to be close to him or was disgusted at even the mere thought of his touch. But in fact it was the opposite. What she hated was the fact that she craved that touch as much as she had when they’d been happily married. She was terrified that if she moved closer she would never be able to put herself at a distance again.

“  do  i  need  to  force  you  to  the  doctors  ?  ” Eli/piper

“You’re overreacting,” Piper sang playfully, a stark contrast to the grimace that had been periodically taking over her face all morning. It wasn’t as though it was a huge jump, she loved her husband - and she loved how much he already adored their little girl - but he had been protective since the moment they’d found out about the littlest Rhodes. Even more so since their last ultrasound had their OB worried about their daughter’s heart. As if to contraindicate her, another cramp hit only moments after, causing her nose to wrinkle in discomfort and her hand to reach up to rub her bump as though she could soothe the baby nestled there. “Don’t!” She warned, the hands that had been on her stomach wrapped around Eli’s neck as she leaned up and attempted to kiss the worried scowl from his lips. “Serious, Mr Doctor, you better pay more attention on your OB rotation. It’s probably just Braxton Hicks, they’re super common. Nothing to wor-” Fate had always been a little cruel to Piper, but apparently it was extra malicious as her reassurances were cut off by a sharp pain that was so powerful her knees gave out from underneath her. Fingers moving to grip at her husband’s shirt as she cried out in pain. “Something’s wrong!” She sobbed, the agony unrelenting and the worry just as much. Of course he knew that, he’d been telling her that all morning, but now she knew too. The pain passed, forming more of a dull ache that she knew couldn’t mean anything good either, but that didn’t mean her revelation had. “No,” She sniffled, her face twisting again as the sharp pain returned again. However, she kept protesting as if that would somehow stop it. “Eli, it’s too early! I can’t...she can’t...it’s too soon!”

❛ come on , it’s just a game , what could go so wrong ? ❜ -andrew to charles

“I can think of ten things right off the top my head.” A bit dramatic for a game of charades, but this was the Ashworth family so anything was possible. Most likely though, there would be some passive aggression thrown around and their overly competitive nature would get in the way of the two brothers actually having a good time together. Or maybe just Charles’ way, one of the most annoying things about Andrew was his seeming unwillingness to admit that they would never be the brothers they should be. “Fine,” He muttered begrudgingly, rolling his eyes as he lifted the pen that was being offered to him, “But if Emily puts in even one chick flick I’m leaving.”

please come back. i’m sorry. -elias for piper

“No!” Piper turned around on the spot, refusing to close the distance that she’d put between them but not simply being able to walk away after that accusation, “I’m not the one that left Elias!” Because she hadn’t. Maybe in that moment she was walking away, but she hadn’t been the one who had walked away. She was simply putting an end to yet another argument that was shattering her already broken heart. “You don’t to tell me to come back, and you certainly don’t get to tell me that you’re sorry.” She took a breath, practically panting in her anger before she added more quietly, “Because you’re not.” He couldn’t be, not when he was still living next door making her life hell just by living his perfect one.

“I could kill you right now!” -Andy to Charles

Charles would be lying if he said that his heart wasn’t thumping against his chest as Andrew shouted across the room. He knew. He had to. Emily had told him and now he knew, so it was only a matter of time before Sam knew. She’d ruined everything...he’d ruined everything. Except he refused to let his panic show, maybe he was misunderstanding. It was completely possible that this was something unrelated. “What for now?” He asked, seeming uninterested. He even rolled his eyes. He didn’t know. He didn’t know. He couldn’t know.

“I love you!” -elias

For a moment Piper felt frozen. As though the time had stopped around her, ceasing to move. She spent that moment in total shock, and later she might think about how sad that was when those words had once been so common and familiar from Eli. However, right now all she could think about was whether she was imagining it. “No,” She hissed as soon as she gathered herself again, turning back to face him as she shook her head. There was frustration in her voice but it was also full of emotion, enough to match the tears that were building. “You don’t get to say that to me Eli. It isn’t fair,” She demanded, rubbing her lips together and adamantly shaking her head as though this were the cruellest thing he had done. In her mind it was certainly up there. “You don’t love me Elias...the things you’ve done-” She cut herself off, forcing herself to take a breath before a sob had the chance to break free, “You don’t do that to somebody you love. You know how I know that? Because I love you.” Despite everything, every single thing he’d done. That’s why it had hurt so much. Maybe it had always been that way though, maybe she’d always loved him more and she’d just been blind.
